Fang Xi has said so much, what he has to say is nothing more than the core cost issue of game development.

With the iterative update of technology and hardware, the development cost of a game has now begun to rise significantly, but for a game, the price of the game has basically not fluctuated in the past two decades. In the past two decades, every so-called " Although the price of "3A Masterpiece" fluctuates, it is not very scientific in itself to maintain a price of around sixty dollars.

Twenty years, enough for human civilization to experience two financial crises, enough to devalue the currency dozens of times. R&D costs continue to increase, but the price of the game has not changed. This is a very strange situation in itself, but the reason for this situation But it's a simple "cocoon and self-binding" in the game world.

Because the price was too high 20 years ago, there were not many people who could afford to play games at that time, so the games at that time had a sense of luxury, but it is undeniable that the pricing was quite scientific at the time, and later because of currency depreciation. Therefore, games are actually getting cheaper and cheaper, but at the same time, because of the development of technology and the times, the production cost of game equipment has been shrinking. The number of players has been growing and the market has been expanding. Kind of weird balance.

But this balance will be broken sooner or later, because at present, the currency devaluation cannot stop the car, but after all, the earth is so big, the population is so large, and the market growth is limited. With time, 3A will make 60 dollars. The price is definitely going to change.

Lin Rongchang was very happy, but what he said about cost is indeed an unavoidable problem. In fact, the easiest way to deal with this problem is naturally to increase the price, so that all problems can be easily solved, but you raise this question. It is naturally difficult for players to be satisfied. Although your game company is not living very well now, but...what does it have to do with players? Just like when you go to a vegetable market to buy vegetables, vegetable farmers lament that this year's harvest is not good, do you still want to take the initiative to increase vegetable prices for vegetable farmers? Shu Fangxi said bluntly, this is either a Virgin or a fool. Anyway, it is not a normal person.

Of course Fang Xi couldn't be more clear about this issue, but he didn't intend to be the first person to speak. He planned to change the direction to increase the profit of the game.

"I tell you how much the production cost of a game is now higher than before. What I want to tell you most is that the current technology is different from the past, so many previous rules may not apply now."

Fang Xi walked back and forth two steps to organize the language, but now he wanted to drag Lin Rongchang out and beat him up. The rainbow **** he said earlier was so happy, but he left the most difficult part to himself. It's time to fight!

Looking at Fang Xi who was glaring at him, Lin Rongchang was a little dazed for a while, not knowing what he had done wrong.

After Fang Xi gave Lin Rongchang a fierce look, he didn't think about other things, but settled the matter before him.

"In addition to Hongyi's competitive games, Hongyi intends to create a system-independent gaming universe." Fang Xi said softly.

"If previous game makers dreamed about a world by themselves, and then told a story about this world, then I want to tell you that all future Hongyi games will come from the same universe, and may be in different eras. When future interstellar games come out, it may be different planets, but after all, we will try our best to create a virtual but extremely real world."

"It will have its own history, it will have its own heroes and epics, it will have different waves, it will be your second residence in this world."

"Don't you want to see what happens when the Zerg among the stars unearth the zombie virus on the earth? Don't you want to know how the Assassin Organization and the Holy Congregation maintain their beliefs in the interstellar? And you are not curious about the umbrella company and the Holy Congregation What is the relationship?"

Fang Xi asked three times, so many players finally ignited their interest. It was like the previous games were like bedtime fairy tales. They were warm and beautiful, short and sharp, but they couldn’t stand scrutiny. Now Fang Xi finally announced that he would prepare. Tell me an epic! A period of ups and downs, an epic that can withstand scrutiny!

"Games are just the basis. We will launch related movies and even TV series. We will draw comics for the characters you are interested in. We will create singles for the heroes. We will form a game-themed symphony orchestra!"

"We will let you feel the reality of another world!"

The players in the audience cheered, but the heads of several companies looked at each other, their eyes full of regret.

"I just thought FANG was going to talk about the increase in the price of games."

"Unless he is stupid, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, but now Hongyi only has a few 3A? And they have the most players in the world, even if they maintain the status quo, they can still make money every day, but what about us?"

"Hongyi has money. They can draw comics, publish movies, and even make TV series. But what about us?"

"Ugh……"

Fang Xi naturally doesn’t know the complicated minds of the friends sitting in the audience, but most of them don’t care, because some people believe that the game is the ninth art and should have a matching price, but Fang Xi thinks the game is the best. Good positioning or "cheapest entertainment", as for not enough profit? Just get it back from other channels. In short, every company that is full of food has countless peers who starve to death behind him. This is an inevitable event.

As for the Chi Guoguo that Fang Xi said about "Hongyi Universe" on the stage, the players were naturally interested in this aspect. They all asked about the surrounding news. Fang Xi almost always refused to come, as long as he thought about it. Yes, they all say there will be in the future.

And Fang Xi thought for a while, pressing his headset and quietly instructed the AI ​​Juggernaut to give Yu Jiashu a question.

Yes, the next day’s meeting was still half-buy and half-delivery. Under 66 and Pim seeing the miraculous gaze, under Yu Jiashu’s numb gaze, he Yu Jiashu again without surprise. Was drawn a chance to enter.

This, of course, came from Boss Fang’s special care. He had already said beforehand that he would make Yu Jiashu into Hongyi’s signature koi, so of course it would start now.

After more than a year of experience, Yu Jiashu is no longer too excited to speak to the big guys, so he calmly asked a question:

"Teacher Fang, what is the ultimate shape of the Hongyi Universe you just mentioned?"

What is sleepiness giving pillows? This is.

Faced with this problem, Fang Xi first smiled lightly to show off his bossy demeanor, and then said in a hurry:

"I actually talked about this issue when I was talking about VR. I can only tell you that the first VR world must be Hongyi Universe."
